Buckskin Gulch in southern Utah is the longest and deepest slot canyon in the southwest and quite possibly the longest in the world. It also happens to be the first slot canyon we had the opportunity to hike.
Many people tackle the 21-mile hike over the course of two days. We chose, instead, a shorter route through Wire Pass, making for an incredible day hike.

We have hiked a few shorter slot canyons in Utah, one that was pretty tight to get through. How narrow was this slot?

None of the portions we hiked were narrow enough to make passing difficult. I’m not sure we ever needed to even turn sideways, although we did have to crawl under some debris at one point.

Beautiful. All the times I have been to Utah and not done this hike. I plan to next time. Is this one of the ones you have to get on a list to do??? Some of them they control the amount of people daily.

Hi Susan,
You said elsewhere that you’ve visited Best Friends about a dozen times. This hike is only about a 40 min drive from Kanab, so it’s kind of a twofer. 😉 It also doesn’t require a permit for day hikes although you may need one if you’re camping in the gulch. I also think this trail is the one you use to see “The Wave” which does require a permit distributed by lottery. But if you’re in the area and planning this hike you can stop by the visitor’s center in Kanab, get on the list and see if you can add the wave to this already awesome hike.
